Who's inferior... the disabled guy or someone else?

Kaneel Shatters Masturbation World Record!
Spicy McHaggis replied to EdwardKnoxII's topic in General Chat
Guinness does have a "most cavernous vagina" record. Some chick inserted a football with no prep. That would be a site. -
Seriously. I loved exo-squad toys when I was a kid.

President brute forces Do Not Call into law

A classic. It's funny 'cause it's true... -
The Pope's been in a bit of a slump lately (priestly abuse, Iraq war) but I certainly hope he's not in a ton of pain.

Yes, yes you can.

No, terrorists are bad. I was just being a drunken potato-head.

Give us a Cliff's Notes version...

Who the FUCK knows? From the time SC got inside the Cal 22 in the 4th to the end of overtime, Mike Williams, the best fucking receiver in the nation, never touched the ball. I think SC, in particular the D-Line, looked past Cal. And Tedford called a hell of a game.

Yasser Arafat is just a more extreme example of Jesse Jackson. He wants to cultivate exactly what he claims he's fighting. Money and power are Arafat's ends and suffering and death are his means. And he looks like a rooster.

Or maybe Britain should stay the fuck out of Northern Ireland.

I thought they kicked off well. I was pretty impressed with Garner's acting. The way Syd reacted at the beginning was perfect. Same goes for her later confrontation with Vaughn. I'm a little disappointed that Dixon's out of the field, though. I'm still skeptical of Sloan because of his resources on the Russian hit-man. I'm interested to see if Will's a field agent yet. And I wonder what Sark's up to. So far, they've done a good job setting up the new world. Can't wait for next week...

Ah, but there are many superb, private hospitals in California with lots of funds to use.

Hillary will probably run in '08 and the Clintons are pushing Clark. That should tell you something.

A few things here... 1. California has lost $48 billion (billion!). Screw social views. Economy is priority 1, 2, and 3. Arnold is fiscally conservative and has the best shot. He's also run businesses while Tom is a career politician. 2. McClintock is only 47 years old. He has a long career ahead of him. He will be a spoiler and cost himself that career if he doesn't drop out. 3. The alternative is BustaMECHA or letting Gumby stay in office.

Listen, if research based on race was not done, how would you know of inequalities existing? Would you just kind of pull it out of the air? Have you even been reading this conversation, no one is calling for "extra funding" just equal funding. the FACT is, inner city schools are underfunded, do you want to find out why or just participate in covering up any research into why it is happening in CALIFORNIA.... Prop 54 bans governmental research based on race. Not private research. And that, JotW, is why I'm in favor of it. Private companies can fund divisive research all they want. But it's not the government's job to differentiate based on race.

I'd like to uh, see some statistics on that one. Fox News article: According to the California ACLU, punch-card machines, still used in six counties, have an error rate of 2.5 percent, meaning as many as 40,000 votes could be invalidated. In their argument before the court last week, the group argued that because those six counties, which make up 44 percent of the state's voting population, are also 46 percent minority-populated, black and Latino voters will be underrepresented. "There is something logical about saying if several counties use machines with very high error rates and other counties use perfect machines, that is unequal treatment of voters," said Paul Rothstein (search), a professor at Georgetown Law School. But other state voting methods that the ACLU finds acceptable are also prone to error, researchers point out. Optical scanners, for example, have an error rate of 2.3 percent, and could invalidate as many as 36,000 votes in the counties where they are used. Computer touch screens with an error rate of 3 percent could leave 48,000 votes uncounted, and 'Datavote,' a different type of punch-card system used in 20 counties, has an error rate of more than 3 percent — putting as many as 51,200 votes at risk. Punch cards aren't perfect, but according to research at Cal-Tech and MIT, neither is anything else.

Quick thoughts Camejo...Who?: Typical illogical communist Arianna "Check out my sagging tits!": Proved herself useless Look away from the eyes! McClintock: Very solid but should still back out Ahnold and-all-uv-dese-tings: Good, didn't harm himself, stayed economically focused Cruz BustaMECHA: Condescending asshole Yes on 54!

You missed my 20th birthday by a DAY.

This is absolutely irrelevant to the recall, but this one stuck out to me: Everybody talks about wanting a colorblind society, but what does that actually mean to you? In other words, how do we know when we have succeeded? My answer would be, we'll know when this question doesn't have to be asked.
-
2 problems: A delay would go against the state constitutions. Punch-card voting has a better success rate than that of two methods allegedly used only by middle- to upper-class whites. Where, oh where, is the ACLU?

I agree but I'm worried coming out of this bye week. Petie should have us prepped though. I'd say our toughest game now is at UW. ASU sucked completely against Iowa and the rest of our away games look easy on paper. But this IS the kind of year the Trojans blow it against either ND or UCLA.

I'm doing a paper on Wordsworth's "Solitary Reaper". I have to pick out passages and analyze them. Here's a link: http://www.bartleby.com/101/528.html Maybe you could comment on my notes: Notable "Reaper" Passages Lines 5-6: Alone she cuts and binds the grain, And sings a melancholy strain; -Plight of the working-class; dealing with life alone -Melancholy strain = sad, laborious existence -Singing a metaphor for crying out for help Lines 25-28: Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;— -Wordsworth not knowing the theme = his acknowledgement of not understanding workers' plight on a deeper level -Maiden has anxiety over difficult life; no relief in sight -Singing at work = Anger over her present life; Crying out about difficulties as laborer -Sickle obvious death metaphor -Bending over sickle = delicate life/death balance? Almost within death's reach? Life as worker a living hell? Lines 31-32: The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more. -Wordsworth sympathizing with workers' pain; impact staying with him even when he couldn't actually hear their cries for help -Also suggests the need to remember plight even after it is solved
